The Lyles Center for
Innovation and Entrepreneurship will host a business etiquette lunch on
Friday, Oct. 24 at Manhattan Steakhouse.
The lunch is the second installment of a two-part workshop to help
college students learn business etiquette. The first workshop, which was
hosted by Cathy Frost, of Bennett Frost, focused on general business
etiquette. Topics ranged from introductions and handshakes to proper
dress and cubicle courtesy.
Friday’s lunch will be led by business etiquette specialist, Tiffany
Smith. Smith, who is also an entrepreneur with a consulting business
called “Premier Etiquette.” Her business teaches practical etiquette
skills that build confidence and composure which help lead to success in
the business world.
The three-hour workshop will feature a full four-course meal and will
focus on attending and leading a business meal. The goal is that
participants learn how to be polite and act professionally in business
situations. “Applying good manners to the principles of good business
build trust and rapport,” Smith said.
Smith will address how to navigate the place setting, Continental vs.
American Dining, eating difficult foods, when to discuss business,
handling the bill and other important skills that make business dining
productive and enjoyable.
Students involved in the Lyles Center’s Mentorship Program, which pairs
aspiring entrepreneurship students with the Central Valley’s leading
entrepreneurs, will attend the workshops with their mentors.
